A lingering glance.
I look away.
A subtle flirt.
I don’t notice.
Blatant ignorance.
But not blissful.
Months pass.
They tell me.
I understand.
A lingering glance.
I still look away.
A subtle flirt.
I blush a bit.
New knowledge.
I didn’t see it.
It eats at me.
Guilt for not knowing.
Never questioning.
A lingering glance.
My eyes hold.
A subtle flirt.
A blushing smile.
I think I understand.
They connected with me.
I think I understand.
Why they see me like this.
Why I see them the same.
A lingering glance.
I make a funny face.
A subtle flirt.
I finally flirt back.

A lingering glance.
I look away.
A subtle flirt.
I don’t notice.
Blatant ignorance.
But not blissful.
Months pass.
They tell me.
I understand.
A lingering glance.
I still look away.
A subtle flirt.
I blush a bit.
New knowledge.
I didn’t see it.
It eats at me.
Guilt for not knowing.
Never questioning.
A lingering glance.
My eyes hold.
A subtle flirt.
A blushing smile.
I think I understand.
They connected with me.
I think I understand.
Why they see me like this.
Why I see them the same.
A lingering glance.
I make a funny face.
A subtle flirt.
I finally flirt back.
